Selected omega-nitroacetophenones, formed by the alcoholic cleavage of 2-nitroindandiones, have been shown to inhibit the homocytotropic antibody-antigen induced passive cutaneous analhylaxis reaction in the rat. The enzymatic cyclization of these derivatives to the parent nitroindandione has been demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro and this process is suggested as a possible prerequisite to biological activity.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is known to exacerbate chronic respiratory disorders, primarily by inducing inflammatory responses and mucus overproduction. Perilla leaves are reported to have significant health benefits, such as antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiallergic properties, attributed to phenolic compounds that vary depending on genetic diversity.

Serotonin toxicity is a potentially fatal condition caused by increased serotonergic activity in the central nervous system. Cyproheptadine, a serotonergic antagonist, is recommended for treatment; however, there is a lack of evidence to support its use. The present study aimed to evaluate the evidence for the use of cyproheptadine in the management of serotonin toxicity following deliberate self-poisoning.

Objective: This paper aims to review the efficacy and safety of current chronic urticaria (CU) treatment in children and the existing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in this age group.
Data Source: Since there are few studies of CU in children, the authors performed a non-systematic review of published articles in English, Spanish, and Portuguese in the PubMed database in the last decade. Keywords used were (antihistamines OR omalizumab OR cyclosporine OR treatment) AND (chronic urticaria) AND (children OR adolescents).

Background: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response caused by infection. When this inflammatory response spreads to the lungs, it can lead to acute lung injury (ALI) or more severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Pulmonary fibrosis is a potential complication of these conditions, and the early occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis is associated with a higher mortality rate.

Introduction: Omalizumab, an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, is effective in treating antihistamine-refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). However, tapering strategies for omalizumab are currently not well-studied, and patients may be treated longer than needed. Here, we present the rationale and design of the EXtending Omalizumab Treatment Intervals in patients with Chronic spontaneous urticaria trial, a multicentre, randomised, open-label, non-inferiority clinical trial.
